URA Thrusters
URA is developing one of the widest catalogues of in-space propulsion, and its main focus is to provide alternative sustainable propulsion solutions across the whole spectrum of spacecraft sizes, platforms and missions: from nano and micro to large GEO or interplanetary platforms. URA's vision is to commercialise and democratise the use of water for space transportation and mobility. URA means water in the Basque language, the oldest living language in Europe and, perhaps, the seed of all articulate language. At URA we will transform not communication, but in-space mobility by providing a green, low-cost and high-performance propellant. Water is an enduring propellant choice: it is essential to our species, and will follow humans wherever we may explore.
